    These are the lights I'd like to add to both of my dual sports:

    Denali D1 LED Lights

    TD_ref, any idea who the 捷超 LED would compare to the Denali?

    thanks!

    I bought a 1500 lumen 30W LED, mounted on my bike, used it a lot at last summer. the brightness is overwhelming, despite its limited degree field (HID is better), the glare is strong, but I used it supplemental for high beam, it is OK, kind of intended to force oncoming traffic switch off their bloody high beam. I don't think LED is good for low beam, also I prefer halogen lamp for high beam, for its light penetration at long distance, I don't know why, colour temperate maybe, you would see longer distance using halogen lamp than LED.

    My suggestion is stay same with original head lamp, use LED as fog lamp, 2 high energy LED mount at each side, you would cover wider filed and the light would be bright as sun. 15w each is enough, if you were crazy like me, go for 30w+. Guarantee the local lorry driver a surprise.

    The Denali's has full package, relay, switch etc. I bought them separately. As spec, the each pod produce 900 lumen at 10w, compare to the one I have, produce 1500 lumen at 30w. Notice the 捷超 has better LED unit, 3000 lumen at higher price, still cheaper than Denali.

    Besides, I replace my S2 30/30w head lamp to H4 55/65w.relay connect directly to battery. No over-stress the old cable. I could easily use H4 100w , but kind of worry its intense heat. I also replaced the voltage regulator/rectifier to better one. High beam 65w on, LED 30w on, 14.2v output all above 2000rpm. Still enough juice charges the battery

    Thanks for all that info TD, i'm thinking of getting a setup like that on my Qingqi as well. So apart from the lights, what other bits do you need to buy for the whole setup? Any pictures of your bike with them installed?

    I always thought it would be pretty cool to mount these on some hand guards at the end of the bars. If i do it i'll share some pics!

    Thanks for sharing TD! I was imagining that you had mounted two lights, but one is enough if it's just for blinding truck drivers!

    Do you think two 15W lights would have the same effect as one 30W?

    小意思,mates,
    two 15w wound be perfect, if you managed install them.
    be noted that same watt of different led produce not same lumen. if mine 30w was cree core, it should have been eye blinding 3000 lumen.
